[Status of immune system organs after exposure to intense physical loads and during the recovery period]
Abstract:
The course of reparative processes in the organs of the immune system has been found to be related to the individual response of animals to exercise and their status after its termination. Three groups of rats differently adapted to exercise were identified. In Group 1 animals, a drastic cessation of exercise leads to a prompt recovery of the histological pattern of organs (thymus, spleen) under study 2 weeks later. In Group 2 animals show reparative processes which run slowly and the structure of the thymus and spleen even 4 weeks after exercise. While in Group 3 animals, cessation of exercise inhibits immune functions and reduces the body's responsiveness.

Introduction to Lymphatic and Immune System
The immune responses can be categorized into two types: innate and adaptive. Innate immunity comprises nonspecific defenses we are born...
Functions of the Lymphatic and Immune System
The primary lymphoid organs, including the bone marrow and the thymus, serve as the maturation sites for lymphocytes. Secondary lymphoid organs, like the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, activate these lymphocytes and serve as...

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
